Yeah I am all for womens hockey and the existing of it in any sustainable way.
I am just not sure what it is that can be done to get it to a standard that these women want (and deserve).
This is all about money and that means having a business model that allows them to exist the way they want too. So does that mean they want some one (NHL?) to take over and make that happen? What happens when/if they dont sell enough tickets/advertising/etc that allows the league to exist as its own separate entity?
Are the NHL/whomever owners now expected to foot the bills? Lose money so womens professional hockey can continue along unfettered?
Really not sure what the end game is here but I certainly hope they find a way to continue as i think its so important for all these young women/girls to have something to aspire to.
